User questions & answers

Question:	How do you fish this bait a steady reel
Answer:	You can do both. A steady reel or a quick jerk short reel and stop and repeat Fish are not reliable try different things until you get a strike. then use that pattern. Different times of the year (ie water temp) fish act differently. If one thing would work all the time there would no professional fisherman. Bob.
Question:	How long is the lure
Answer:	Depends on what you want. They come in several sizes from about 2" up to about 5 or 6". I like the x-10 which is about 3 1/2" for pike and bass. Good luck.
Question:	do these work for rainbow trout? and if so, any particular colors. Thanks
Answer:	smaller size #4 & #6 are good for trout--- trout color, olive green & black and silver are my favorite colors for trout.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it a sinking lure
Answer:	The lure floats but will go under the surface as you reel it in.. when you stop reeling, the lure will float back up to the surface.
Question:	When i click on the silver it shows tiger striped. I want to make sure i get the silver one. Suggestions
Answer:	I would click on "silver" and write a note on your order that you definitely want the silver. I see how a few of the colors don't match up with their names. It is confusing. Good luck.
Question:	What is the length
Answer:	The specs say 2 3/4 inches long. I have so many that I can't remember which ones are the 07 ones! The only ones that we use are the F-18 at 7 inches long for Northern Pike.
Question:	On the header of this page shows #7 size but as i scoll down on the same to check out the specs, it's shows #9 for size what size is actually
Answer:	Go to the official Rapala site and look up the floating lures and look at the sizes available.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why the difference in price between colors
Answer:	Popularity. I have multiple different colors. Each one works differently with seasons, water color, and temperature
Question:	Where on the lure do u tie ur line or swivel
Answer:	You tie in where the A frame comes together at an angle. It's not a closed loop but there is a small bend that will hold steady. Good lure. Give it a try.
Question:	Is it suitable for panfish and tilapia? What is the hook size
Answer:	Absolutely not. I tried it. Waste of money. The hook is simply too large for most panfish and similar. These are far better suited for bass and other similar large, easy to catch, fish.
Question:	Will the craw colored bait work good in a creek
Answer:	Depends on the creek but I believe the natural color will work quite well if its got clear water conditions. I've used it in the New River along the NC/VA border (which is relatively shallow, pretty rocky, and the water is usually quite clear) several times and those smallmouth sure love it. If you're fishing a more stained water creek I'd recommend going with the white or fire bug color. Hope this helps, take care.

Product description

Savvy anglers turn to the XJS when slow presentation is key. Built with all the premium qualities of the X-Rap line, its slow, seductive action triggers finicky fish. Neutrally buoyant with slight rise on pause.

From the Manufacturer

The exaggerated action of the jointed body allows a slower retrieve to trigger sluggish or finicky fish. Near neutral buoyancy, with a slight rise, provides a very natural "wounded-minnow" action. Combine it with the X-Rap finish, and no fish is safe.

• Jointed body
• Slashbait Action
• Suspending on pause
• Internal Holographic Foil
• Internal Long-Cast System

Question:	If i were to buy two would i get the same lures
Answer:	Yes.Both of mine were identical.
Question:	Are these ok for use in ice fishing

User questions & answers

Question:	Some ratting lures have gotten way too loud in my opinion. You can hear them coming 30 ft away. How loud is this one
Answer:	not sure how to answer this ,, but best I can do is to say it catch's bass and have gotten a few small Northern pike in the 18-22 inch range
Question:	hello
Answer:	The actual size of the body itself is 2 1/2 inches. Here's the insane (WTF) response i got from Rapala about this: Thanks for the images and your patience. Everything is as it should be. The 05 size has always been larger than what is listed on the box. It actually measures 6cm/ 2 ½’. There are a lot of older Rapala lures like that.. for example size 9 jigging rap is actually 8cm. I we don’t wish to change anything on these old lures as it will create more harm than good. People who know a size 5 RNR would be confused if we started calling at a size 6.
Question:	let me know the weight & size of Rapala Rattlin 05 Fishing Lures
Answer:	2.5 inches but the box says 2 inches.
Question:	How many do you get
Answer:	the last time i bought them i bought4 in the bluegill color thats all they had i lost thee on big fish that end up snapping my line

User questions & answers

Question:	Why does the description say "Silver" and the pic shows a Perch in a box? I'm looking for the original silver floater minnow
Answer:	Sometimes the images get misplaced. You should be getting a perch one.
Question:	what is the weight for this lure
Answer:	Not sure of the actual weight of this lure but it is made from balsa wood so it is pretty light. The number 5 is 2 inches long so you will need spinning tackle and light line to get any distance throwing it. It has a high buoyance so it's great for working it on the surface.
Question:	How long is this lure
Answer:	approximately 1.5 inches. Great universal lure. I would go to an f11 for night time walleyes, but this lure for a bottom bouncing rig.
Question:	Do these have the lead weight in them? Aka rattlers
Answer:	No it is very light. They're designed to mimic lifelike movement without the extra weight but if you need to you can add a leader
